Most of the martial art schools of today specialize in the Tae Kwon Do (The art of kick, punch, and block). One of the main reasons for this is that this is often used in such competition as contest, tournaments, and even International games. Combat Box Hop Ju Sul with its devastating Hapkido and Judo techniques rarely ever enters these games due to the serious Joint-locks and throws. Although some Hapkidoest and Judokas have participated, they would have to alter their form to more of a Tae Kwon Do practice.

     Many Hapkido or Box Hap Ju Sul purists do not agree with the entry of this style of martial arts into the world of sports. Box Hap Ju Sul is simple to aggressive.

     Combat Box Hap Ju Sul as of Hapkido is so effective that in competition, kicks and punches have to be "pulled." Joint locks, manipulations and throws cannot be practiced during such tournaments, thus spoiling the development of the practitioner's art.
